Project:

NBG Residue Disposal Area

Location:

Boddington, WA

Summary:

The project involved the staged construction of a Residue Disposal Area over 2 years.

A large part of the project involved the construction of the upstream embankment using tailings material and clay. The tailings material had a high moisture content which proved to be unsuitable for some heavy equipment. CHC carried out a number of trials and investigations on the preparation, drainage and excavation of the tailings material and were able to drain highly saturated areas that previously could not be accessed by conventional machinery.

Key activities:

clearing and topsoil stripping

bauxite mining

downstream clay embankment construction

upstream embankment construction using tailings material and clay

clay & HDPE liner

drainage network installation

reinforced concrete rail beam construction

bulk excavation

moving deposition pipelines
